    Wow. Lemmy’s user base has really pidgeon-holed itself in these comments. Just observing, not critcizing. Interesting to see. Privacy to most people here means privacy from big tech and government. Responses are also largely technology-focused solutions rather than personal practices.

    I’m going to throw “Don’t give out your personal information” into the ring to round things out.
